LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2020

INSIDE SCOOP

Just because the leaves are turning doesn’t mean rosé season is over. With plenty of options on LCBO shelves, you can still drink pink for months to come. From Navarra, Spain, Gran Feudo Rosé (LCBO 165845, $12.95) is deep pink with red berry notes and the weight to handle big- ger fall flavours. And from France’s Loire Valley, De Chanceny Crémant de Loire Rosé Brut (LCBO 211466, $20.30) is a dry, zesty sparkler that would be an excellent aperitif before Thanksgiving dinner.

Let it grow Since many recipes call for only the dark section of a green onion, its lighter half often ends up limp and forgotten in the crisper. Sure, they can be thrown into soups, stocks and stir-fries, but there is a popular new use for the ignored white. Simply stand the whites upright in a jar or glass and add about an inch of water. Place next to a window and after just one week they should sprout two to five inches of new greens! KITCHEN HACK

Rosé with fall fare

Whether it’s still or sparkling, rosé is one of the most food-friendly wines on the planet. Pour it with shrimp or pork chops during the final months of grilling season. It can handle spicier cuisines like Indian and Thai. And rosé is excellent with roast duck or Thanksgiving turkey. Try it on a weeknight with our quick, one-pan Anise-Scented Sausages with Caramelized Pear & Onion, recipe at lcbo.com/fdautumn20.
